Very clean. Food from the bar restaurant were fresh and delicious. Breakfast is sufficient. For those wanting to add the spa package, be aware the sauna/steam room only opens from 9-6, or 9-7 on Sat.. If you're out and about during the day and come back in the evenings, most likely you won't be able to use it. Also, the sauna hardly worked, it wasn’t hot. However, the message from the hotel asking if you want to add spa package failed to mention the hours of operation. I'd not have bought it if I knew my itinerary wouldn't allow me to use it. Also be aware if you come to visit colleges, unless you have a car, the hotel is not on the main road to buses, so uber can be costly.
